In recent years, discussions of educational technology, and its role in supporting student learning, have attracted significant interest in higher education and across our campus. At the core of this discussion is the embedded assumption (which are right to question) that the significant technological advancements driving these educational technologies have translated into equal progress in the advancement of student learning outcomes.

With the lack of a central staff break room in Green Library, the Provost and University provided funds to SUL to establish one. After a search of possible spaces, we found 245E on the 2nd floor of the Green Library east, near the Human Resources (HR) Suite, to be an ideal space. Once we establish occupancy, the central staff break room will be open to all SUL staff, DTZ janitorial staff, and the staff at Coupa Café.
